"What I instilled in my kids, and I’m very, very proud of it, is manners," she said. "There’s nothing worse than a privileged kid without manners. I drilled it into them like boot camp."

"She knows she cannot roll her eyes at me, or huff and puff around me. I never did it to my mother, and she’s not doing it to me."

But while her parents have supported her modeling career, Carys admits she was sometimes upset to be born into fame.

"When I was younger I didn’t like the idea of having this name attached to me, this kind of 'Douglas dynasty' stuff," she explained.

"I think what bothers me the most is that people think I don’t work hard for it. That anything I do gets handed to me. When, honestly, I feel like it’s the opposite. I feel I need to constantly prove myself to people — that I am not just my parents’ daughter."

It helped that Carys didn't even catch on that her father was famous until just a few years ago. "I though my dad was a pancake maker," she jokes.

And fellow schoolkids fixated on Douglas' age, not his fame, when they teased Carys at school.

"People would be like, 'Your grandpa's here to pick you up,'" she remembered.

"I’ve never had to turn to Carys and say, ‘I think that’s a little inappropriate."
